Inflation Monitor, Muhammad Arby, Fida Hussain, Safdar Khan
Safdar Khan
Extract:
Although inflationary pressures persisted in the economy for the second year in a row, the headline inflation fell to 7.6 percent year-on-year in June 2006 that was 1 percentage point less than inflation in corresponding month last year.1 The inflation containment was more visible in the last six months of FY06 as compared to first six months (Jul 05 to Dec 05): the average CPI inflation during the first half of the year was 8.4 percent which declined to 7.4 percent in the second half primarily due to fall in food inflation. Inflation measured by sensitive price indicator also …
La Imagen Del Imperio: Los Estudios Sobre Wari En La Arqueología Peruana, Patricia Chirinos Ogata
La Imagen Del Imperio: Los Estudios Sobre Wari En La Arqueología Peruana, Patricia Chirinos Ogata
Patricia Chirinos Ogata
In Peru and in the rest of the world, a great part of the information that helps us to understand the past comes from the story of archaeological practice itself. This article presents some thoughts about how the story of archaeological research in Peru has defined the concept that we have now about Wari and the Middle Horizon, and the impact of this phenomenon in the academic, social, political and cultural spheres.
Dynamics Of Energy Consumption, Safdar Khan
Dynamics Of Energy Consumption, Safdar Khan
Safdar Khan
Extract:
Dynamics of Energy Consumption Pakistan has been facing severe imbalances in energy demand and supply for the last couple of decades. During early 1980s domestic supply of energy was fulfilling almost 86 percent of total domestic energy demand; a gap of 14 percent was being filled by imports. However, the demand – supply gap started increasing since then and reached to almost 47 percent by the year 2000 (see Figure S2.1).

Palestinian Refugees: Dethroning The Nation At The Crowing Of The 'Statelet', Randa Farah
Palestinian Refugees: Dethroning The Nation At The Crowing Of The 'Statelet', Randa Farah
Randa R Farah Dr.
The Oslo agreements proposed a two-state solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza existing alongside Israel. However, the refugees’ right of return and claims to land and property expropriated by Israel during the 1948 were removed from the equation, although they represent the core issues in the conflict. Based on the territorial divisions that preceded the 1967 war, or the ‘green line’, the agreements implicitly rendered the 1948 war and its consequences for the majority of the Palestinian population a non-negotiable historical reality. In a manner of speaking, the crowning of the ‘state’ …
Integrating Indigenous Cultural Traditions In The Management Of Protected Marine Resources – The Fiordland Example, James Mize
James Mize
Indigenous communities that rely upon natural resources for their cultural practices and livelihood depend on the health of the ecosystem for traditional practices to continue. Yet government efforts to protect ecosystem integrity by “locking up” resources in spatially-explicit management regimes that prohibit resource use risks the disruption of indigenous cultural traditions compatible with sustainability. This tension can be seen in the Te Wāhipounamu / South West New Zealand (Fiordland) area, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, subject to increasing pressure from visitors and other non-traditional use. New Zealand statutes governing the management of adjacent marine resources recognize and incorporate Māori …

Art As Politics: Re-Crafting Identities, Tourism, And Power In Tana Toraja, Indonesia, Kathleen Adams
Art As Politics: Re-Crafting Identities, Tourism, And Power In Tana Toraja, Indonesia, Kathleen Adams
Kathleen M. Adams
Art as Politics explores the intersection of art, identity politics, and tourism in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Based on long-term ethnographic research from the 1980s to the present, the book offers a nuanced portrayal of the Sa’dan Toraja, a predominantly Christian minority group in the world’s most populous Muslim country. Celebrated in anthropological and tourism literatures for their spectacular traditional houses, sculpted effigies of the dead, and pageantry-filled funeral rituals, the Toraja have entered an era of accelerated engagement with the global economy marked by on-going struggles over identity, religion, and social relations.
In her engaging account, Kathleen Adams chronicles how various …

Prosodic Rhythm And African American English, Erik R. Thomas, Phillip M. Carter
Prosodic Rhythm And African American English, Erik R. Thomas, Phillip M. Carter
Phillip M. Carter
Prosodic rhythm was measured for a sample of 20 African American and 20 European American speakers from North Carolina using the metric devised by Low, Grabe, and Nolan (2000), which involves comparisons of the durations of vowels in adjacent syllables. In order to gain historical perspective, the same technique was applied to the ex-slave recordings described in Bailey, Maynor, and Cukor-Avila (1991) and to recordings of five Southern European Americans born before the Civil War. In addition, Jamaicans, Hispanics of Mexican origin who spoke English as their L2, and Hispanics speaking Spanish served as control groups. Results showed that the …

Language And Culture (Spring 2006 Syllabus), Adam Hodges
Language And Culture (Spring 2006 Syllabus), Adam Hodges
Adam Hodges
Language is a primary cultural tool used in all human societies. Through the use of language, we interact socially, interpret our surroundings, set up relations and establish shared meanings. Language use creates public space and places items into that space for consideration. In short, there is no such thing as non-social language; language itself is fundamentally a social activity integrally linked with cultural systems and social practice. In this course, we will examine this intersection of language and culture in an effort to understand how language and culture derive from, shape, and influence each other.
Questions we will consider include …

Study participants include more than 130 farm workers and 30 clinicians.

Social Exchange Practices Among Mexican-Origin Women In Nogales, Arizona: Prospects For Education Acquisition, Anna O. Oleary
Social Exchange Practices Among Mexican-Origin Women In Nogales, Arizona: Prospects For Education Acquisition, Anna O. Oleary
Anna Ochoa OLeary
This paper summarizes quantitative and qualitative findings from a 1999 study of Mexican-origin households in Nogales, Arizona. It finds that women’s educational progress is facilitated by social support and, even more important, that a household’s investment in the education of its members is significantly raised with an increase in the education level of the female head of household. It argues that systematic efforts to build on existent cultural frameworks of social support will promote women’s educational progress and help improve educational opportunities for all people of Mexican origin.

Production And Exchange Of Obsidian From The Colca Valley, Arequipa Perú, Nicholas Tripcevich
Production And Exchange Of Obsidian From The Colca Valley, Arequipa Perú, Nicholas Tripcevich
Nicholas Tripcevich, Ph.D.
In Andean archaeology, it is stylistic evidence that form the basis for many investigations of long-distance relationships
and evidence of regional interaction. From hunter-gatherer projectile point type distributions to evidence of expansive
states like Wari and Tiwanaku, the basis of much of the inference regarding prehistory in the Andes is stylistic
relationships in workmanship, architecture, or iconography. In the past fifty years chemical characterization studies have
permitted a second basic form of regional evidence to emerge: provenancing studies.
Provenancing studies complement stylistic evidence because chemical provenance provides unqualified evidence of
contact between two regions. With provenancing studies: We know that …
